    Help, shoebox compressors issues

    Ask you question about the brand you have. The authentic US Made SHOEBOX guys are thin skinned!

    Athlon Scopes - your opinion?

    I have several and stay with the 30mm tube to keep the weight down. I work PB loads up with an Ares 15-60 and find at 50x it is excellent, way above its price point.

    Need advice on a purchase…..sending $ but afraid

    Research a USPS MONEY ORDER. My understanding: if the seller accepts a USPS MONEY ORDER and it is a fraudulent sale, the seller is in trouble with the post office and their Inspection Branch is superb. If the buyer screws around with the Money Order, he is in big trouble too. The only...

    $300 Compressor

    Yes, he is the guy I was talking about being maligned on this forum. I called him "airauto" He did a good job and I have it filed. Don't know if he is still running the ToAuto. Wish he would post more.

    Sightron vs. athlon?

    I have the Athlon Ares 15-60 MOA 30mm tube and couldn't be happier. Usually use it on 45-50x. Tiny dot that will illuminate.

    $300 Compressor

    Are the CW's holding up well? I looked hard at the CW2 when I bought the ToAuto. Thought the ToAuto offered a bigger bang for the buck.

    Tuning No Hobby For Old Men

    I have no frustrations, just 85 years of watching things happen. Just came in from sighting in a new rifle, 300 yard range 50 yards from my back door. I do have to use the ATV to haul all the stuff. Maybe I should have said "the way I see it". I've lived a dream, never without a job and...

    $300 Compressor

    There are pages of Amazon and PayPal PCP compressors for <$400. Has anybody had success with the cheaper compressors as far as durability and ease of maintenance/rebuild? I have a ToAuto, new in the box, that I don't dare use for fear it won't work! "AirAuto" has been so maligned that I...

    Umarex Notos, can i removed this peice.

    Remove it, makes bench shooting with bags much easier. I am surprised the 3D printer guys haven't tapped into stock making.

    Tuning No Hobby For Old Men

    I am 85 and have discovered the rabbit hole is very deep. Been a PB for 70+ years, fairly new to PSP. Have discovered the PCP game is very expensive when you factor in air supply. Rifles and scopes are about the same price, but you can buy a lot of components for what a GOOD compressor costs...

    Free gun range exist anymore?

    Join a local Rod and Gun Club, most can use the support. Our dues are only $30 per year and should be $130.00 to cover the expense. Around urban areas it is a completely different story. Initiation fee plus several hundred a year and you have to donate time. Think about it!!!!! Usually...

    Crosman closing down...

    Is it another incident of NYS driving a "gun" company out of the state? Gov Hochel is driven by the down state.

    Sizing Die for Pellets

    This question has been asked before but. Is there a sizing die for 22 cal pellets that uniforms skirt and head diameter? Makes them all the same size and shape.
  17. W

    Does pellet testing make sense?

    IMHO to do accurate testing you must make sure the pellets are uniform. So you need some kind of sizing die and a very accurate scale. If they don't look and weigh the same, how can they shoot the same?

    What a difference without cataracts

    I wish I had investigated the "dual range" implants. 20/20 at distance but need the magnifiers for reading. Only surgery that gives you back, nearly, what God gave you.

    Retired members here?

    Retired for 30 years and have lived a dream. My advice: live beneath your means, retire without any debt, keep credit card balance at 0 and never borrow money.

    Electrochemical Rifling barrel, maybe we are on the right track.

    I have a couple of rifles with a EDM cut chamber. Usually that process is more expensive and precision than a lathe cut chamber.
